Review of The Sandman: A contemporary story presented on a grand canvas

One of the largest canvases ever to be displayed on TV serves as the canvas on which The Sandman joyfully paints.

The Sandman is a work of art that inspires intense reflection and meditation. The canvas on which The Sandman charmingly paints is one of the largest ever to be placed on screen since the scale of a tale depends on the depth to which it digs into numerous topics and emotions.

Themes that are prevalent in almost every episode include sacrifice, humanity, deceit, death, immortality, being devoured by desires, and being confined to the past. The show contains a lot of philosophical discussion—almost an obsession—which may be too much for some viewers.

From the very first scene, through the eyes of the dream’s ruler, Morpheus, the vastness of the dream world and its impact on people’s lives are made clear. In the performance, Tom Sturridge portrays Morpheus/Dream, and he is masterful in how he uses his voice and micro-reactions. His dreamy (pun intended) performance walks a fine line between subtlety and apathy; if he had done it even slightly incorrectly, it may have come out as dreadfully uninteresting.

A character who is immortal become a sympathetic protagonist

 When Morpheus first appears, he is described as someone who values his obligations but lacks empathy for the people who live in his world. And there is where his storyline starts; throughout the series, we witness him questioning human emotions, their fundamental needs, and their anxieties. We even witness him crumble under an existential crisis in the middle. This leads to a fascinating incident in which his sister Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) pays him a visit and aids him in achieving mental clarity through a therapeutic session filled with sisterly love and compassion.

Both artistically and narratively, the programme fizzles out towards the middle

A prime illustration of what was absent from the second part of the presentation is the segment set in hell. The programme could have utilised more of the mind-blowing images of hell and the intellectual conflict between Lucifer and Morpheus.

Some episodes seem like dreams, and the experience is similarly engrossing and intensely compelling

Consider the scene where Morpheus encounters a young, inexperienced writer in a 16th-century English inn. Morpheus overhears the man lamenting to his companion about his desire to use his writing to “make mankind dream.” The man is then shown being taken away for a talk by an enthralled Morpheus.
